Episode Notes

Our Interview with Robert Rodriguez

This week, Sean O'Connell, Jake Hamilton and Kevin McCarthy dive into the new trailers for Aladdin (that Genie though...) and Yesterday (dir. Danny Boyle), as well as the unfortunate news that The Academy has chosen 4 categories to be pre-recorded, and edited in during the live Oscars broadcast. But most importantly, and we couldn't be more excited to share this with you, we have writer/director/composer/cinematographer/producer, THE rebel without a crew, Robert Rodriguez on the show today. We get into some awesome behind-the-scenes moments on his new film Alita: Battle Angel, stories from the set of From Dusk Till Dawn, his relationship with collaborator James Cameron and much more. In honor of his appearance, we also played #RobertRodriguezBlend where the guys discussed their favorite films from the man himself.

You can follow the show on Twitter @ReelBlend, and play along with next week's game when we discuss our favorite work from the wonderful Emily Blunt. #EmilyBluntBlend
